Which radiator is best for me?
Just got home from work, and my radiator pretty much blew. So I'm purchasing one right now online, what is best? 289 V8 hipo, daily driver, 400.00 price max. What is a staggered radiator and an inline? Please help!

Staggered vs inline has to do with your current hose configuration. You need to look at your current radiator inlet/outlet to see if they're both on the same side, or on opposite sides.
Do you have a/c? Where in CA do you live? Do you drive it in the middle of summer? Do you currently have cooling issues, and if so, can you tell us more about them?

if you want an oriog srtyle rad there is only one brand that is good which is "US Radiator" . . CALL COOLCRAFT AND ORDER ONE.
A 3 row is a good typical rad that cools most engines but 110 degrees outsiude with the ac on i would run the 3 row high efficiency one.
aluminum rads are far cheaper.
